American Indian and Indigenous Studies Minor

Grounded by a strong commitment to the worlds, histories, representations, and political struggles of Indigenous peoples locally and globally, the intellectual project of American Indian and Indigenous Studies (AIIS) uses interdisciplinary methods of critical inquiry as a means through which doctoral students engage research and scholarship in their major fields of study. An AIIS minor is composed of graduate course work with core and affiliated Indigenous studies faculty in the Department of American Indian Studies and other departments.

The AIIS graduate minor strengthens students' work in their major field of study as they will learn how to best integrate American Indian and Indigenous Studies into their existing work as well as how to complement their research to include indigenous methodologies.
